Kira Dunn's University of Southampton master's research, released via the Guardian, shows bare patches in the eco-mooring trial area shrank by an average of 94% between 2021 and 2025, and by 65% in the area where chain moorings were removed in 2023.

“The results clearly show that seagrass is recovering in areas where physical disturbance has been removed. It’s incredibly encouraging to see how quickly this important habitat can regenerate when given the opportunity.”
